Chapter five hundred and ninety first sitting in the hall
"Master, you...you want to join Hongmen?"
Du Fei didn't expect to answer his question like this, and he was a little stupid for a moment. Although Du Fei kept claiming that Ye Tian was his young master, in fact, he did not treat Ye Tian as a member of the Hongmen.
of.
You must know that Li Shanyuan's seniority was so high that even in Shanghai in the 1920s and 1930s, no one could surpass him. People like Du Yuesheng and Huang Jinrong were all Li Shanyuan's disciples and grandsons in terms of seniority.
.
After learning about Ye Tian's seniority in the capital, Du Fei once returned to the Hongmen to check the family tree in detail. After all, the seniority of people in the overseas Hongmen was slightly higher than that in China at that time, such as the Qingbang Brother Laohui, which had a close relationship with the Hongmen.
of the gang.
After this investigation, Du Fei discovered that although there were several people of the same generation as Li Shanyuan among the overseas Hongmen at that time, that was already seventy or eighty years ago, and four or five generations have passed since then.
, the descendants of those big guys are several generations lower than Li Shanyuan.
In other words, if Ye Tian wants to join Hongmen, he will immediately become the ancestor of hundreds of thousands of Hongmen's children. He will be respected by his generation and no one in this world can match him.
Maybe some friends will say, even if Ye Tian joins Hongmen, your name is just a false one, you have no real rights at all, and you will be hated by people in Hongmen. This is simply a waste of effort.
Unpleasant things.
But the person who said this must not understand the Hongmen system.
In the Hongmen or Qinggang, status and seniority are always ranked first. If you bully your master and destroy your ancestors, you will be regarded as a killable person by all the Hongmen disciples. This is also one of the ancestral mottos of the Hongmen. It has long been
It goes deep into the marrow of every disciple in the sect.
Back then, people like Du Yuesheng and Huang Jinrong were prosperous in Dashang/Hai. Nowadays, everyone only knows about Du Yuesheng and Huang Jinrong, but what the world doesn't know is that they once racked their brains to worship them.
Join the youth gang boss to improve your status in the world.
Moreover, these Shanghai/Tangshan tycoons have always respected the Hongmen gangsters of the Qinggang Gang. Whenever these bigwigs have anything to do, they only need a phone call or a note, whether it is Du Yuesheng or Huang Huangrong, they will handle it obediently.
Although today is different from the past, and there are not as many rules in Hongmen as before, but if Ye Tian's seniority is really recognized by Hongmen, then Ye Tian will definitely become the most popular figure in Hongmen.
You must know that joining the Hongmen Youth Gang is not the only way to become a disciple. Anyone can join as long as there is an introducer. In other words, many Hongmen children or big bosses who have become successful, and
There is no master.
These people who have not become disciples can worship Ye Tian as their disciple, and they can also increase their seniority in the gang. This alone can make all the Hongmen disciples flock to it. I am afraid even Lei Zhenyue will do it by then.
Thoughtful.
"Ye Tian, why are you joining Hongmen?"
Although she has a close relationship with Hongmen, Song Weilan does not know Hongmen very well. In her impression, Hongmen is just a Chinese organization with a profound background. To put it harshly, Hongmen and the top ten gangs in the world are not involved.
What a big difference.
Song Weilan comes from a wealthy family, and she has been exposed to a well-educated and sensible environment since she was a child. She actually has a bit of disdain for such a rough society that shouts about fighting and killing all day long. Naturally, she does not want her son to join the underworld!
"Mom, you don't understand this, Du Fei must understand it."
Ye Tian smiled and shook his head, turned to Du Fei, and asked, "Can you understand my purpose of joining Hongmen?"
"I understand, I understand! Master, this is a good idea of yours. As long as you join Hongmen, the current structure of Hongmen will be disrupted immediately!"
After hearing what Ye Tian said, Du Fei, who was still in shock, quickly came to his senses. Thinking about the decision made by Ye Tian, Du Fei couldn't help but shout loudly.
The reason why Lei Zhenyue is so powerful in Hongmen is that, firstly, he earned a reputation through hard work in his early years, and secondly, because he has a high seniority and is one of the few people who have made great achievements before liberation.
For these reasons, Lei Zhenyue plotted against Song Weilan this time. At most, others would secretly criticize him for being too ugly, but no one would publicly accuse him. After all, Song Weilan was not a Hongmen member, and Lei Zhenyue was not bad either.
rule.
But if Ye Tian joins Hongmen, the situation will completely change.
In terms of seniority, Ye Tian is at least the ancestor of Lei Zhenyue. This status determines his due status in Hongmen. At the very least, everyone who recognizes his seniority must address him respectfully.
My grandfather would try his best to protect Ye Tian's face in front of others. More importantly, once Ye Tian joined Hongmen, Lei Zhenyue's previous behavior violated the first sect rule that was read in the initiation ceremony, which is:
Since entering Hongmen, your parents are my parents, your brothers and sisters are my brothers and sisters, your wife is my sister-in-law, and your son is my nephew. If there is any violation, I will be punished by five thunders.
Relatives of brothers have to be treated like this, and as an elder, Ye Tian, needless to say, this alone can make Lei Zhenyue miserable, and if not handled well, it can even ruin his reputation.
Even if Lei Zhenyue could use the phrase "Ignorance is not to blame" as an excuse, Lei Hu and others would not dare to continue to embarrass Song Weilan. If Song Weilan was willing to provide evidence that they calculated against him, even the loss of more than one hundred
Billion dollars can make Lei Zhenyue spit out.
Du Fei was excited for a while, then suddenly remembered something, his face became a little ugly, and said: "Master, although your idea is good, it is not that easy to officially join Hongmen. I am afraid that many people will
I don’t like having multiple ancestors on my head!”
Although Hongmen held a marriage conference in the 1990s, and the seniors of the Shanghai Qing Gang and the current Taiwan Bamboo Federation were included in the Hongmen family tree, and Li Shanyuan's name can also be found, but
Today's Hongmen bosses may not be willing to admit Ye Tian's terrifying seniority.
"deny?"
Ye Tian raised his eyebrows and said: "The time limit for my apprenticeship test has long passed. According to the rules, as long as I complete the last initiation ceremony, I can become a member of the Hongmen. Who dares not to admit it?"
Du Fei laughed bitterly when he heard this and said: "Master, things are not that simple. Your master's seniority is really too high. There is no basis for it. Why should others believe your words?"
The reason why Du Fei believed Ye Tian's words was evidenced by Tang Wenyuan from Hong Kong, but others may not believe Tang Wenyuan's words like him, especially the Lei family, which had no need to recognize Ye Tian's relevant identity.
"It's okay. In order to encourage me to join Hongmen, Master went through the procedures very well. I will definitely be able to get it."
Since Ye Tian said he wanted to join the Hongmen, he was naturally prepared. After explaining, Ye Tian asked: "Du Fei, who is the red flag in the Hongmen now? Who is Xiang Chang?
"
There is a strict hierarchy among the Hongmen, and the one with the most noble status is called the emperor. However, this is the former leader, and his status is noble, but he has positions but no power.
Under the emperor, there is the current leader who governs the entire Hongmen. Under the leader, there are deputy leaders and those who assist the leader in handling the affairs of the whole mountain. Their status is second only to the chief and deputy leader.
In addition, there are other things like the alliance certificate that must be held by the elders of the mountain hall, the chief priest of the opening incense hall, the heads of the punishment, execution, and ritual halls, the red flag, the black flag, the blue flag, the law enforcement, and the green flag.
He is a steward and a prominent boss in Hongmen.
The so-called red flag actually refers to the Hongmen chief steward, who specializes in foreign affairs.
This kind of butler may not have a particularly high status, but he can impeach the inner eighth cousins, restrain the outer eighth cousins, and has the privilege of giving orders and summoning brothers. What Ye Tian wants is the last one. He wants to be among the Hongmen.
Open the incense hall!
As for the incense master of Hongmen, his power is much greater than that of Hongqi. Generally, he is a guest of Hongmen. He will only appear in the most important incense hall affairs of Hongmen. If Ye Tian wants to join Hongmen, he must
Use this person.
"Young master, Hongqi is mine, but guess who it is, Xiang Chang?" After hearing Ye Tian's words, Du Fei immediately understood that this master was going to open an incense hall in Hongmen.
"Let me guess? Could it be that I know this person?" Ye Tian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and his mind started to spin rapidly, "Could it be Tang Wenyuan?"
Among the people Ye Tian knew, only Tang Wenyuan seemed to have a close relationship with the overseas Hongmen. Moreover, he was well-known in the Chinese business community and had strong financial resources. He was exactly the person that the Hongmen wanted to win over. It would be fine to give him a high position with a long and empty title.
Understood.
"That's right, it's Mr. Tang. With him here, I will ask the brothers from the Hongqi gathering to open an incense hall for me with great fanfare!"
Except for the marriage meeting in 1992, Hongmen has been silent for a long time, especially since the current leader has been seriously ill for many years, which has caused the whole Hongmen to surge. Ye Tian's grand opening of the incense hall can definitely be called Hongmen.
a grand event.
"By the way, Du Fei, what's your current position in Hongmen?"
Seeing Du Fei's confident look, Ye Tian couldn't help but feel a little curious. Du Fei's skills were not weak, and he was the son of the previous leader, so his status in Hongmen must not be very low.
"Young Master, I am a Hongmen official, but I haven't been in office for long."
Du Fei smiled, but there was a bit of contentment on his face. After he returned to Hongmen, he was directly promoted to the third person in Hongmen by the leader who was seriously ill in bed. Du Fei already had a deep foundation in Hongmen, and he took the position this time.
